Transit Oriented Corridor

​What is a Transit Oriented Corridor?

A Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) is a developed, pedestrian-friendly area within one quarter-mile of a public transit system. A TOC is within walking distance to the public transportation system and includes amenities that promote the safe movement of pedestrians.

TOC land use is intended to promote:

Public health and safety

Pedestrian mobility

Public transit use

Mixed-use development

Sustainable buildings and practices

The preservation of neighborhoods

Aesthetically pleasing communities

Where is the Transit Oriented Corridor located?

The Transit Oriented Corridor in Hollywood is generally located East of The Florida Turnpike and West of 58th Avenue.

While the TOC land use provides a framework for the vision for the corridor, existing zoning that is currently in place does not allow such improvements. Existing zoning has an array of issues with the majority related to use:

Shallow commercial depth

Multiple overlays with inconsistent character and cohesion

Inadequate transitions between uses

Majority of zoning categories do not encourage mixed-use

Why is Hollywood considering rezoning?

Demographic shifts, lifestyle preferences, and improved mobility options are a few of the key factors driving the desire for urban living. There are numerous improvements in close proximity to State Road 7:

The Florida Department of Transportation is investing over $60 million in widening State Road 7, enhancing pedestrian safety features, and improving transit stops for riders.

Public utility upgrades to City water lines and sewer installation along the State Road 7 corridor with capacity to allow future expansion.

Economic redevelopment and reinvestment is occurring at key intersections along the corridor.

Recognizing the importance of the Transit Oriented Corridor designation, the City of Hollywood has commenced the rezoning process to encourage functional and attractive redevelopment in this area of regional significance. Hollywood's TOC covers an area of over 980 acres that includes key commercial intersections including SR 7 & Pembroke Rd; SR 7 & Hollywood Blvd; SR 7 & Sheridan Street; SR 7 & Stirling as well as the established residential neighbors in West Hollywood.

Public Outreach

In preparation for adoption of the Transit Oriented Corridor rezoning, the City is soliciting feedback on the proposed policies from a broad constituency of impacted stakeholders that includes residents, businesses, developers, architects, and industry organizations. Provided below is the public outreach schedule. Please note that the schedule will be regularly updated and additional meetings will be scheduled as necessary.
